His size, however, did not get in the way of his athleticism as he was a member of the 1901 Irish Shield winning gymnastic team. Stephens graduated as a solicitor's clerk but his Irish Nationalism saw him find work as a registrar in the National Gallery of Ireland. He penned many retellings of Irish Folk and Fairy tales and further wrote original novels based on the traditions as well as poetry.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.12 x 9.78 x 6.45 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769390694688,"sku":"9781398843301","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e5412f102955e7416a841b6d5cbf216e.webp?v=1780346884","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/celtic-myths-deluxe-slipcase-edition-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
